Mumbai University's New Graduation Dress Code Gets Compared With Ranveer Singh's Bajirao to Raja Ram Mohan Roy (Check Funny Memes)
Mumbai University has decided to replace the colonial robe with a traditional angarkha and red headgear. This move is particularly in a direction to go desi, rather than be based on British culture.
One of the most anticipated events of college life is the graduation ceremony. Every student is excited about wearing the graduation robe, the hat and then tossing these hats cheering collectively. Unfortunately, Mumbai University students may not get to experience the same as they've decided to replace the colonial robe with a traditional angarkha and red headgear. The official dress code is said to be introduced from the next batch in the month of November. But people are not impressed, or rather have their funny reactions to this traditional attire. Funny memes and jokes some even comparing the attire to Ranveer Singh in Bajirao Mastani are surfacing on social media.

The shivkalin angarkha was an outfit donned by great Maratha warrior Shivaji Bhonsle. This outfit also has a Paithani border which represents valour, commitment and good governance, as per the university officials. The maroon headgear was recommended by the university-appointed committee. This move is made particularly in an effort to embrace Indian traditions instead of the British culture. The desi Twitterati, however, was not too welcoming of the idea. Funny memes and comparisons to pop culture characters were drawn on social media.

But there were also some who were quite impressed with the idea and said it has a Maharashtrian appeal.
